SATURDAY, DECEMBER 24, 1"J21
LO! THE DAY DAMNS
Christmas Eve! Tomorrow is tht
day upon which the Christian world
will celebrate the birth of Jesus
Whether it really represents the anniversary
of His birth matters not oni
whit, Tomorrow, Sunday, is the da>
of His resurrection. So we may think
of the Savior's birth and of His triumph
tomorrow. Whether we took
our Christmas from the old German
myth or from whatever source it
came, matters little. To the true
Christian the day is sacred. Not in
revelhng, not in wantonness, not in
gluttonous indulgence, not in excessive
hilariousness, but iti sacred,
sweet and holy service, in sweet fellowship,
in the faith, and with the
hope of a little child, should the. day
be spent. Joy and good cheer are not
unseemly. Thought of others should
mark the day's progress.
Well nigh two thousand years have
come to the earth since the sacred
feet of the Man of Galilee touched the
roads of Judea and traversed the
streets of old Jerusalem. Reeling in
the shock of clashing armies, drunken
with the dregs of vice, enthralled in
the meshes of deceit, wracked by pain,
hunger and poverty, the old world has
gone on. Many a time has the .sun
looked down upon contending armies
and the moon wept over the bloody
desolation left in the wake of battle.
The moaninir wi?v??s hpntinrr nn?n tVm
shore have not been heard so constantly
as have the cries of little children
and of desolate widows. Oppressors
of the poor and exploiters of
the WfaknesSes of mankind have
aaxed fat upon the blood of brothers
and helpless old age has gone cringing
to the grave driven by the ruthless
hand of might. Tyrants have sat
upon thrones and harlots have ruled
the people through the wiles of the
evil one. But yester year the whole
earth was in the blazing flames of
war and fourteen millions of human
bodies were fed into the belly of that
hideous monster. Even today millions
of little children, old men and women
young men and maidens fair are hungry
because of the trail left in the
wake of the great, beast of hell. And
yet, through a rift in the clouds a
heavenly beam appears! With each
succeeding horror has come in more
pronounced degree the message of the
heavenly host: "Peace on earth, good
will to men." From every charred
battlefield, dimly at first, more clearly
at each succeeding occurrence, has
been seen as a beacon light of hope
the Cross of Christ. Slowly, through
agony, through bitter tears, the chil
dren of men have been approaching
Golgotha. They begin to hope that
they see the day star of peace and
good will. Some day, please God, and
possibly sooner than most of u>
dream, hope will be crowned with
fruition and the troubled heart of
mankind will rest in the shadow of
the Cross. Said the Master: "I came
to bring, not peace, but a sword."
Mayhaps the bloody sword and th<
bursting shell, the red hot flames oT
hellish war have come to purify man
kind and set free eurth's prisoner;and
slaves. Perchance, with each re
viving storm the final haven already
looms upon the horizon!
Almighty God! May the children
<>f men, having looked into the face
of the "Man of Sorrows" find tht
true meaning of suffering and discern
the gateway to life! Speed the da>
when oU'Ovdi! shjill ho hontnn int/i
implements of honest husbandry:
Send to the earth the full knowledge
that through dying we enter the por
tals of life; through service we mount
to an imperishable throne; through
giving we prepare ourselves for receiving!
Lord God of High Heaven, given to
Thy people a new heart, in which
sings the voices of little children, a
new vision which sees a new heaven
and a new earth; a new hope that!
builds upon the promises of God re-!
vealed in the Son who reveals Him!
Oh, Lord! May this blessed day
bring peace to broken hearts, to
weary souls and to poor travelers,

new day dawns.

All Russian Soviet Congress
Moscow, Dec. 19.?Many formida
ble questions appear on the agendt
>f the Ninth All-Russian Soviet Congress
which is to convene here tomorrow.
Foremost among these art
the consideration of the preliminarj
results of the new economic policy
which abandons Communism to a considerable
extent, and the faniim
which threatens to wipe out millions
f Russians in the Volga districts before
the next harvest.
It is more than a year since the
last meeting of the All-Russian Soviet
Congress and the congress has
actually become much less important
than might be imagined from reading
the Soviet constitution. It has
over 2,000 members. Village anc
town Soviets call elections by means
of which delegates are selected to attend
conventions in provincial capitals
which designate the delegates tc
the Moscow congress.
Only workmen, soldiers, sailors and
peasants who do not employ any laborers
except their own families, arc
entitled to vote under the constitution.
Bolshevists make no claim that the
elections to the congress are democratic.
Bolshevists make no claim
that the elections to the congress are
democratic. They frankly call their
system a dictatorship of the proletariat
and do not pretend that*their
government has the support of a majority
of Russians.
At every session of the All-Russian
Soviet Congress a central executive
committee of about 200 members
is elected which holds office until the
next congress iS called and is the
body in which the chief functions of
government are vested by the constitution.
In practice this committee, whose
members are scattered all over the
Russian republic and federated governments,
has been found unwieldy.
It is too large to assemble conveniently.
By degrees the actual control of
affairs shifted to the council of commissars,
which corresponds to a cabinet.
and is under the chairmanship
of Nikolai Lenine.
M. Kalenine, who is the legal head
of the government and is generally
spoken of as president of the republic.
will preside over the Ninth-AllRissian
Soviet congress by virtue of
his position as chairman of the central
executive committee of that body.
He signs treaties, grants pardons, receives
diplomatic representatives and
performs other more or less formal
tasks, but has no such powers as are
vasted in the American president.
The calling of the All-Russian Soviet
Congress at this time is probably
[lue to the fact that the government
jesires a formal approval of its
